DJ B.O Presents: Joey Ramone's B-day Dance Party

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Beat Bandits PR) Joey Ramone, legendary lead singer of the Ramones, was born in Queens, New York on May 19, 1951. His legendary vocal stylings were instantly iconic, with a voice that represented the sincerity, posturing, longing, and frustrations of adolescence.

We'll celebrate what would have been his 60th birthday (he died in 2001 of lymphoma) with a dance party of the great music associated with him.

Shanghai surf rockers The Beat Bandits will feature songs from the Ramones in their set.

DJ B.O will have a special Joey Ramone mix, including Ramones songs ("Sheena is a Punk Rocker", "Blitzkrieg Bop," etc.), songs that influenced The Ramones/songs they covered ("Substitute" by The Who, "Palisades Park" by Freddy Cannon, etc.), songs of Joey's contemporaries, and songs specifically influenced by Joey Ramone.

Acts:

The Beat Bandits (Shanghai): With a foot in the ass-shaking surf-swing of Dick Dale and The Champs, the Beat Bandits allows listeners to hang-ten over bouncy baselines and jumpy keyboards until...until....CRASH! Misuzu's Tsunami-sized guitar roars waves at the audience like a long-lost Godzilla villain. https://site.douban.com/beatbandits/

DJ B.O (Shanghai): He rebels against people who DJ because they are afraid to dance in public. He will sing and dance to provoke movement. He is somewhere between vaudeville and Warhol. Featuring vintage-hits and forgotten favorites, he thinks dance music is for pussies but The Shanghri-Las are fucking artists, man. Tech? NO.
